Feliz Lunes de la isla tropica de la Republica Dominicana!
It’s been long enough, you all should know what that says if
you’ve been faithfully reading my letters! Also, at my request, have patience
with the letters. My mother works very hard on the correcting and sending of my
letters, but she also has a lot of sleep that she needs to catch up on! Love
you mom!
Anyway, the beginning of this past week wasn’t too exciting.
However, we did have something interesting this happen this past week! On Thursday,
Elder Aguilar and I went to Gazcue, aka the mission office, because he had to
renew his visa at the immigration center. While I waited for him to return, I was
on an exchange with another Elder in the office helping the Garner missionary
couple sort all of the house keys for the mission! Let’s just say there were a
lot of keys and trying to sort them and determine which were old and new took a
long time!
After Elder Aguilar returned, we headed home by way of bus, the
usual mode of tra…

Feliz Lunes from the tropical land of the Republica Dominicana!
This past week was so much fun! After the itching and the allergic
reactions to what we think was caused by the sulfa in my medication, the week
passed by soo fast!
We were blessed to have interviews with President Smith this
week and we received a lot of much needed inspiration in regard to the topic of
faith in Jesus Christ! We also have been working very hard on teaching some of
our investigators in preparation for baptism!
We had 3 baptisms this past weekend! One of them was the
child of a member, but we baptized her sister only two months ago as well! I’m
rushing through my week because I had a pretty cool experience that I wanted to
share with you all!
Today for our P-day we went to Conde which is a strip mall
type of place. In the middle of Conde was a Cathedral! This Cathedral is the
first Catholic church built on the American Continent! It’s cool about how old
it is, but if felt a little weird being a Mormon…

This past week we have had so much fun! To start, we
finished teaching the lessonsto our
convert Juana! She was baptized this past Saturday!
On Wednesday, it was just another normal day of Proselyting.
However, we had an unforeseen plot twist! We returned home from our apartment
and something was just a little bit off. I felt excessively warm. I decided to take my
temperature and BAM! A nice cup of 100.4 fever! This was totally unexpected and
I was laughing about it up until the point I went to bed 15 min later!
That night consisted of me getting up every hour or so to
use the bathroom. At about 2:30 a.m. my fever broke, but with no sleep, I got
up the next morning physically weak. But fear not! This Spirit is strong!
Throughout the next couple of days, I was always feeling a little under the
weather, and my body was producing enough gas that I could destroy the ozone
layer faster than a farm of 100 or more cows!
Anyw…

This Past week has been full of fun and adventure! Elder
Portillo and I Spent our weekend working hard on preparing our investigators
for baptism in the coming weeks. We have Juana, who is getting baptized this
weekend! YAY! We also have Anita, from Haiti, Sandra and her son Michael, who
are all getting baptized on the 17th of February!
Anyway, every one of these 4 are already super excited for
baptism and if they could they’d all be baptized right now, LOL. However, there
are a few things that do need to happen first! They all still need a couple
lessons and an interview from our District Leader Elder Garcia, from Honduras.
On Thursday, Elder Portillo and I had our usual weekly planning session and
then headed for an appointment we had at 6 that afternoon. We arrived at the
cita [appointment] and we were about to teach a new investigator named Jarom.
As we arrived we got a call from our Mission President.
I had the pho…
